There’s no denying all the incentive structures are aligned to result in maximum damage and we all participate to some degree in our own demise.
What about death and destruction is so damn profitable? That nearly everyone goes along with it? Most of us will never presume that we are responsible because if we really understood how every choice ultimately serves that destruction we would no longer participate. Which is what you are starting to see more of, but only just.
The incentive structure guarantees intelligent psychopaths will be very successful so they rise to the top. And all throughout the structure the incentive is to support and defend the very profitable structure itself, even though destruction is assured.
Part of the defense of the structure is deception because awareness results in collapse. This explains the censorship and psyops to keep us all ignorant and confused. This also explains the push for totalitarianism/ neo-feudalism to force participation once awareness sets in.
A lot of different competing factions will cooperate to defend the system itself with deception while still competing for the spoils.
So, our enemies are:
~ourselves & each other who will fight to defend the system because on some level we benefit personally (until we become aware and stop participating)
~psychopaths who will fight to defend the system regardless of awareness because they benefit the most (is this a genetic trait concentrated in certain families?)
~the incentive structures themselves.
Pointing out and eliminating the psychopaths is a good start but as we may not be able to eliminate that human trait entirely from the genome we’re just handing the murder baton down to the next generation.
The incentives themselves might just be a force of nature that a few individuals can’t do enough to alter or abolish entirely but we should try.
Those who are aware are doing their best to spread that awareness so more individuals stop participating but they are outnumbered and outgunned by the system’s defenders.
But ultimately the system collapses under its own weight. It is not sustainable. And it needs to die and probably has repeatedly throughout history because we don’t have enough awareness to learn the pattern in order to defeat it for good.
Maybe murder and mayhem will always be profitable and a certain subset of the population will always exploit that. And maybe most of the rest of humanity will always go along because self-deception is always the easy option.
